Get $20 off your first booking with me using promo code: KELLYF09143 Greetings fellow pet parents! I'm an experienced pet care professional who worked for 2 years as a trained W2 employee of a dog walking company. During this time I provided daily walks and vacation care for dogs ranging in size from Chihuahuas to a 170lb Irish wolfhound! I have also visited and given love to kitties while their owners were away. I spent 3 months as the overnight kennel attendant at a dog boarding/grooming facility, so I have experience in administering proper medication and feeding schedules. I went the independent route so I could spend more time on my own small business. I have undergone the FetchFind dog care training program. I have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language. Also I am a pet owner myself, proud parent of Pickle, a beagle/Australian cattle dog mix. A complimentary meet and greet (20 minutes) is available prior to your booking. Booking will be confirmed after the meet and greet. A lockbox is the preferred method for storing the keys if you cannot provide them at the meet and greet. If you need me to pick up/drop off the keys a fee equal to one visit ($20) will be charged. No charge if your drop off the keys. For overnight/house sitting care, I am available to stay at your house! I do have a day job, schedule varies weekly. Longest your pup would be alone is 8 hours. My #1 priority is your pet's health, safety, happiness and keeping your home/possessions secure. I have experience with lockboxes and setting/deactivating alarms. I double check locks and alarms. As a professional, I have been background checked and employed by: Boston Red Sox (MLB), Northwestern University, and the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
